About Havenotifyfriends.info POP-UP Ads

Havenotifyfriends.info POP-UP Ads detected by the anti-virus tool you have installed probably means a generic potentially not wanted application (PUP) has inhabited your PC. PUPs are not severe threats, since their main intention isn’t to harm your device. Since PUPs are often disguised as handy applications, some users may authorize them to remain. They may be concealed as applications that will apparently help your computer operate more smoothly, games and browser extensions. When applications attempt to install through software bundling without explicitly asking for permission and request users to pay for useless services, they are typically categorized as PUPs. Fake system optimizers and virus removal programs will pester you to purchase their complete versions by implementing scare tactics, while you will be exposed to constant ads if you’re dealing with a suspicious browser plug-in. It’s categorized as a PUP for a reason, thus we recommend you uninstall Havenotifyfriends.info POP-UP Ads.
